Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♐ Sagittarius later.

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1925" and ∠1943".
Cold Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2090 after 15 days on 7 December 2090 at 01:14.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 28 November 2090 at 23:40
- Full Moon in Gemini ♊ on 7 December 2090 at 01:14
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 14 December 2090 at 04:25
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 21 December 2090 at 01:29
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1124 / 2077
At 12:48 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1124 of Meeus index or 2077 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.53 days
29 days, 12 hours and 41 minutes is the length of new lunation 1124. It is 2 hours and 21 minutes shorter than next lunation 1125 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 6 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠39°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠39°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠65.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 19 November 2090 at 02:49 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 30 November 2090 at 20:42 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 372 338 km
Moon is 372 338 km (231 360 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 9 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 549 km (251 375 mi).
Moon after ascending node
4 days after its ascending node on 16 November 2090 at 15:51 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 29 November 2090 at 20:13 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
4 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days after previous North standstill on 11 November 2090 at 03:00 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠18.482°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-18.552° in the next southern standstill on 23 November 2090 at 22:09 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
